Because of the sarcoidosis, I first have 40mg for 3 weeks, then 30mg for 4 weeks, then 5mg down every 4 weeks and the remaining time 5mg per day. Side effects were on the first day by shaking to notice, after 3 weeks I was totally pampered, my environment was shocked, even strangers spoke to me I would not look good if everything was ok. In the 4 months I have 19Kg increased, of which were apparently 5Kg of water went down immediately after discontinuation down, the rest is persistent and can be difficult to get rid of even with diet and sports.

After the shock therapy with 3 applications, therapy was switched to tablet form. Initially with 90mg in the morning, then spread to the day, then dose down to 80mg and now to 60mg descending by 2mg less a day. At first I was fine, but after about a week, it started with euphoria, turning up, racing heart. In contrast, there are now drugs that are designed to keep the adrenaline under control. This was accompanied by dizziness that does not even go away when you turn your head, balance problems when walking. Fast walking is no longer possible. I get pimples / acne on my back, on my face, on the tip of my tongue and on my neck. My skin, especially on the hands, looks dry, white and wrinkled, like someone older. I’m only 42. I’m fat, constantly hungry, water retention under the eyes, get a big face and can only tilt my head back with difficulty (bull’s neck). Problems with climbing stairs. I have the feeling of being powerless. For some time furry taste in the mouth. Somehow everything tastes bland and carbonated, for example in Cola triggers a burning on the tongue. I have the impression that the hair grows slower and the nails softer. From time to time I have blurred vision, so blurred, sometimes left right times. Ophthalmologist examined, all i.O., probably comes from this devil stuff. I was declared unfit for driving, very good, then I can kill myself right away, where I’m not far away. Oh yes and I think I have a funny smell on me or I smell too bad. I just want to get rid of that stuff. That’s the worst thing I’ve ever come across drug and about which I was never enlightened by anyone.

I have to take prednisolone since January due to the disease Ulcerative colitis. At the beginning I took 50mg and for 2 weeks I am only 30mg. I somehow got all the pallets of side effects. Side effects: Extreme knee pain Cold sweat during the night Hot flushes during the day No more feeling of satiety At night I can not sleep through completely restless and have the feeling after 3 hours sleep I had slept 10 hours and I’m already in bed again at 19 o’clock. Circulatory problems (shaky hands and blurred vision) I often feel like I’m not breathing in enough to get enough heartbeat I think that’s a lot of side effects and I’m so happy if I do not have to take this medicine anymore!

I have been taking Budenofalk in a very low dosage for 4 weeks (3mg in the morning and 3mg in the evening), before that I took about 6 weeks of prednisolone, starting with 40mg and then 5mg per week, at the beginning (40mg) I got the prednisolone very well tolerated and the pain and relapses were blown away, but I was very euphoric, even slightly hyperactive, had a lot of appetite and sleep disorders, and also with weight gain and water retention I had to fight (from 45kg to 59kg in 3 weeks.) I had a slight Rash in the third week, which lasted a good three weeks.At the end of the intake time, I was only depressed, the relapses set in again, I was dizzy, I had always a headache and strong eyesight on my right eye Now, as I said, I’ve been taking Budenofalk for 4 weeks, the dizziness is still there, and there’s always a lot of nausea I don’t have any more serathercings and my weight has gone down a bit (56kg), which is partly because of the occasional diarrhea. I suffer from mild anxiety and because of this I am often quite sad and depressed, which often ends in crying. Fatigue is one of the side effects in my case, too, and I have the feeling that all my strength has left my body and that even climbing stairs is a burden to me.
